Whinge not winge.

[Idranktheeasterspirits]

FFS.

And it's knackered, not nakard.

And "I did", not "I done."

Sorry, bad day. Feel free to correct grammar etc.

And 'pursue' not 'persue'

And 'individual' not 'indervidual'

And 'conversation' not 'convosation'

That's better!

I like people who are on my wavelength.

Oh stop wingeing

sod off and eat some "chocs", or even worse, "choccies".

Quite. Standards must be maintained.

I always thought it was 'baulk' not 'boak'

I did only learn how to spell whinge about 18 months ago . I'd type winge and think, that doesn't look right but I wasn't sure how it was actually spelt and the more I thought about it the more confused I got...

Now stop your winging wingeing whining

Grumpy- that "boak" is the sound of someone being physically sick. It's onomatopaeic. (sp?)

Ah, I've always spelt it 'baulk', as it is 'baulking' but I sense my mum's voice in there somewhere. I like 'boak', as it is indeed onomatopoeic.

My mum is a true pedant by the way. "It's aitch darling". She rings me when she has seen inappropriate punctuation to shriek. She's great!

I always understood 'boak' to be a Scottish thing - my Scottish friend used to use it.

Can I add in 2 that have annoyed me this evening?

1. Pimp - I cannot STAND that this is used now to mean primp, a perfectly acceptable word that means to tidy up and make it look better. I was incensed when Virgin Radio (as was) ran a Pimp Your Mother competition for Mother's Day a few years back - I was seriously tempted to phone in and ask how much they were asking for Mum's "services"!

and (this one is entirely different but I can't be bothered to start a whole new thread for it)
2) "end of" at the end of someone's post, like they believe they have just made the most important, argument-clinching point (mostly, sadly, deluded)

Quiet, not quite.

Bored, not board.

whinging not whingeing or wingeing

broccoli not brocolli

definitely not definately

Should have, instead of should of.

The use of 'hun' - can't stand it!

I definately should of mention hun

[Grin] at SuperBunny! Shouldn't you be out delivering Easter eggs though?

Grumpy - my mum was also like that. She once asked if Kevin Keegan was married since she couldn't understand how someone get married when they spoke with so many glottal stops

Thanks it is great to know I can post on here to ask for support and know people are reading and correcting my spelling.

Why would you post in pedant's corner for support?

I didnt I asked for support on my own thread but used the word whinge and am almost certain I spelt it wrong. So nice to know that people read a thread that was incredibly hard to write and thought I dont give a fuck but learn to spell.

And noone ever writes nakard.

Oh Twinset

Sorry

I know it won't help but I didn't even notice how you spelled whinge. I am queen of typos on here and I know that spelling isn't our priority when we post but I do get irritated when I see these mistakes in notices from my building manager and in letters from my bank.

Ah yes, the glottal stop, which my mum likes to say in comedy 'common' voice. She must be gutted that both of her granddaughters have quite thick Teesside accents and have been known to utter the odd 'glo-al stop'.
